If you've never seen a biodiverse landscape comparable to what we once had in the British Isles, with familiar species (many of which are now rare or extinct in the UK & Ireland), you have no idea what a thriving ecosystem should look like.
If you're trying to recreate/restore/rewild, it's like trying to do a really complicated jigsaw puzzle with most of the pieces missing and no picture!
For help managing landscapes for maximum biodiversity, ask someone who's seen thriving ecological systems with the same species we once had in the British Isles.
